Bodum Ceylon 102 Ounce Iced Tea Maker August 25, 2008
Looks great, fits in the door of the refrigerator. An additonal set of strainer teeth attached to the lid, that fit into the pouring spout, help prevent loose tea in the pitcher from being poured out into your serving glasses.

However, the lid seems flimsy & likely to break, and it appears that it may not be replaceable if it does break.

The removeable straining column may make you think that you want to try using loose tea, but I would advise against that thought if lingers in your brain too long. Unless you've got the extra time to mess around with loose tea, but in an office setting, you may get a second glance from the boss when they go past you as you're making the tea, and you're still there cleaning up when they return 5 minutes later.

Finally, I purchased this with the idea that by making iced tea at work, I could cut way down on soda purchases from the vending machines. However, two 20 oz glasses are way more caffiene than I need in a day, and so it may take 4-5 work days to finish 1 - 102 oz. pitcher. I would have been just fine with the 51 ounce size.

Makes iced tea easy! I was having a difficult time finding a heat proof plastic container for making iced tea, which I always like to have in the refrigerator. With Bodum Ceylon Iced Tea Maker, you just pour in the hot water and when you tea had reach the desired strength, remove the infuser, and its done.
My only complaint: I wish they had one even bigger!!!

After disappointment with various electric iced tea pots from Mr. Coffee, Hamilton Beach, etc., we decided to go low tech in our house.

The nice thing about this unit is that it is self contained, so no chance of the kind of filter-to-container mess that we had with Mr. Coffee. And really, it's so easy to heat a kettle of water and pour into the unit, meaning one less appliance to constantly plug and unplug, or dedicate precious kitchen counter space to.

On the negative side, hot (not even boiling, just properly hot) water deforms the plastic, incrementally, but fairly quickly. I know from 8 years experience with a plastic Braun kettle (electric) that they could fix that, in terms of design, but I guess ALL the tea maker - erm - makers, have decided to go the planned obsolescence route. In a time when everything is rapidly getting more expensive, I refuse to buy crap-that-breaks-fast (or repeat patronize makers thereof), so Bodum has lost my future business, and I continue to search for the perfect off-stove iced tea pot.

Simply Overpriced.... July 16, 2008

For a heavy tea drinker the Bodum Ceylon system could have been a great idea. The pitcher stains very easily. No matter how much elbow grease is applied, the vented spout region remains stained. Another negative point is the fact that it is not shatter proof. One drop and its history. Definitely not recommended for families with little ones running about. Thankfully, we acquired this product at no charge via the Amazon buy 3 items and get the 4th free promotion. Personally, I now wish that we had opted for a different item for this promotion.
